The largest sharia bank in Indonesia, posted assets of IDR40.55 trillion at the end of September, increasing from IDR28.05 trillion at one year earlier. As its business grew faster than other sharia banks, its market share may also rise.

The higher credit disbursement was the result of expansion in networking branches and products, said Director of Retail at Bank Muamalat Adrian A. Gunadi.
 
Bank Muamalat disbursed IDR13 trillion of financing to the retail segment, which accounted for 65% of its total credit. The remainders were disbursed to commercial and corporate customers. 
 
At end of 3Q/2011, Bank Muamalat has IDR21 trillion of third party fund, increasing 51.62% from IDR13.85 trillion at one year earlier.
